Stephen Spielburg, the man we all know and love for movies such as...All right, since we're all nerds here I won't list them since it's a waste of time, although the text explaining the waste of time it is, plus this extra text explaining that further, is a much bigger waste of my time. Oh well, that's what we call irony.

Anyway, if you regular http://www.gonintendo.com, then this isn't much news, although it is interesting to see a movie director enter the video game world. I'm more or less on the fence. I mean Spielburg could no doubt make an amazing script, and his directing career also leaves room for his attention to details that enhance gaming experiences. Among details, one is sound, and IMO Spielburg is amazing at finding the right sounds and background music to enhance the mood of whatever's going on in his settings.

Regardless of Spielburg's film career, however, I'm going to remain on the fence of his ability to design a video game. I'm curious on what you guys think.

That picture's just a nice little touch I found in 1 of the comments. I personally like it.

Spielberg is an amazing director that also happens to be very commercially successful. I'm sure that his game will be at least good. He's been to E3 since I can remember, so he's seen a lot of games.

Well, if he's been regularly attending E3 at least that's comforting. I personally think that:

Miyamoto + Spielburg = win
